Answer:

Such a substitution could: change a codon to one that encodes a different amino acid and cause a small change in the protein produced. For example, sickle cell anemia is caused by a substitution in the beta-hemoglobin gene, which alters a single amino acid in the protein produced.

Answer:

transcription initiation

Explanation:

Transcription is a process by which genetic information from DNA is used to synthesize an RNA molecule, usually, a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is subsequently utilized to synthesize a protein by a process called translation. Transcription in prokaryotes has three steps:

1-Initiation: the RNA polymerase is a multisubunit enzyme (holoenzyme) composed of two α, one β, one β’ and one ω and σ subunits (α2ββ’ωσ). This holoenzyme binds to the promoter region of the template DNA strand.

2-Elongation. The sigma σ factor of the holoenzyme is released and the complex and the core enzyme (α2 ββω) moves along the template strand, thereby producing an mRNA sequence

3-Termination. This step can be Rho-dependent, where a protein named "Rho" recognizes the termination site and stop transcription, and Rho-independent (transcription continues until the termination sequence is reached).

In consequence, Rifamycin is likely to block the initiation of transcription because the core RNA enzyme needs to bind the sigma factor (σ) for initiation of transcription in bacteria.
